Authigenic Carbonate and the History of the Global Carbon Cycle
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2013)We present a framework for interpreting the carbon isotopic composition of sedimentary rocks, which in turn requires a fundamental reinterpretation of the carbon cycle and redox budgets over Earth's history. We propose ... -
Author's Reply to Review of Histories of Violence
(University of London, 2012) -
Authorial Strategies in Jean Bodin
(Brill, 2013) -
Authorship in the Popular "Problemata Aristotelis"
(Brill Academic Publishers, 1999)Why does red hair turn white sooner than other hair? Why does a man yawn when he sees another yawn? Why is it a good custom to eat cheese after dinner? Why is there such delight in the act of venery? Why do birds not piss? ... -
Autobiographical planning and the brain: Activation and its modulation by qualitative features
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press (MIT Press), 2015)To engage in purposeful behavior, it is important to make plans, which organize subsequent actions. Most studies of planning involve look-ahead puzzle tasks that are unrelated to personal goals. We developed a task to ... -
Autocatalytic, bistable, oscillatory networks of biologically relevant organic reactions
(Springer Nature, 2016)Networks of organic chemical reactions are centrally important in life, and were likely to have played a central role in its origins. Network dynamics regulate cell division, circadian rhythms, nerve impulses, chemotaxis, ... -
Automated Channel Abstraction for Advertising Auctions
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2009)The use of auction mechanisms like the GSP in online advertising can lead to loss of both efficiency and revenue when advertisers have rich preferences: even simple forms of expressiveness like budget constraints can lead ... -
Automated Classification of Starch Granules Using Supervised Pattern Recognition of Morphological Properties
(Elsevier, 2010)Image analysis techniques have been used to investigate the likelihood of being able to classify and assign a probability regarding the plant origin of individual starch granules in a collection of granules. Quantifiable ... -
An Automated Information Extraction Tool for International Conflict Data with Performance as Good as Human Coders: A Rare Events Evaluation Design
(Cambridge University Press, 2003) -
Automated Mechanism Design without Money via Machine Learning
(2016)We use statistical machine learning to develop methods for automatically designing mechanisms in domains without money. Our goal is to find a mechanism that best approximates a given target function subject to a design ... -
Automated MRI Measures Identify Individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's Disease
(Oxford University Press, 2009)Mild cognitive impairment can represent a transitional state between normal ageing and Alzheimer's disease. Non-invasive diagnostic methods are needed to identify mild cognitive impairment individuals for early therapeutic ... -
Automated pointing of cardiac imaging catheters
(2013)Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) catheters enable high-quality ultrasound imaging within the heart, but their use in guiding procedures is limited due to the difficulty of manually pointing them at structures of interest. ... -
Automated Structure-Activity Relationship Mining: Connecting Chemical Structure to Biological Profiles
(SAGE Publications, 2014)Understanding the structure–activity relationships (SARs) of small molecules is important for developing probes and novel therapeutic agents in chemical biology and drug discovery. Increasingly, multiplexed small-molecule ... -
Automated Workflow Synthesis
(AAAI Press, 2013)By coordinating efforts from humans and machines, human computation systems can solve problems that machines cannot tackle alone. A general challenge is to design efficient human computation algorithms or workflows with ... -
Automatic Categorization of Diverse Experimental Information in the Bioscience Literature
(BioMed Central, 2012)Background: Curation of information from bioscience literature into biological knowledge databases is a crucial way of capturing experimental information in a computable form. During the biocuration process, a critical ... -
Automatic Chemical Design Using a Data-Driven Continuous Representation of Molecules
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018)We report a method to convert discrete representations of molecules to and from a multidimensional continuous representation. This model allows us to generate new molecules for efficient exploration and optimization through ... -
Automatic design of fiber-reinforced soft actuators for trajectory matching
(National Academy of Sciences, 2017)Soft actuators are the components responsible for producing motion in soft robots. Although soft actuators have allowed for a variety of innovative applications, there is a need for design tools that can help to efficiently ... -
Automatic Enforcement of Expressive Security Policies using Enclaves
(2016-07-25)Hardware-based enclave protection mechanisms, such as Intel’s SGX, ARM’s TrustZone, and Apple’s Secure Enclave, can protect code and data from powerful low-level attackers. In this work, we use enclaves to enforce strong ... -
Automatic Pose Estimation for Range Images on the GPU
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2007)Object pose (location and orientation) estimation is a common task in many computer vision applications. Although many methods exist, most algorithms need manual initialization and lack robustness to illumination variation, ... -
Automatic Preference for White Americans: Eliminating the Familiarity Explanation
(Elsevier BV, 2000-05)Using the Implicit Association Test (IAT), recent experiments have demonstrated a strong and automatic positive evaluation of White Americans and a relatively negative evaluation of African Americans. Interpretations of ...
